Street Theatre Company Presents CHESS in Concert, 2/24-27
by Nicole Rosky - January 26, 2011
In May of 2008 at the Royal Albert Hall, London, there were two spectacular, standing room only, performances of Chess in Concert, with story and lyrics by Tim Rice (Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita, The Lion King) and music by Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson (Mamma Mia!), formerly of ABBA. Chess in Concert received its TV premiere in June 2009 and was subsequently shown in mainstream cinemas throughout the UK. Street Theatre Company is thrilled to announce that they are the first company in the U.S. to secure rights to this spectacular 'in concert' production that Tim Rice says he hopes 'will be the model of future productions.' The musical has a long history with multiple versions from concept album to British and finally American productions.

BWW Reviews: Nashville Shakespeare Festival's SHAKESPEARE'S CASE
by Jeffrey Ellis - January 26, 2011
Should Dick Wolf need any new fresh ideas for his aging Law and Order TV franchise (and recent events would indicate that he might), we would suggest he ring up Nan Gurley, Denice Hicks and Claire Syler - the scribes of Nashville Shakespeare Festival's current hit Shakespeare's Case - for an infusion of new blood and an influx of new plotlines. Of course, those plotlines might not be new, since they'd probably hew pretty closely to the Bard's classics for which the estimable Nashville troupe is best known, but you can rest assured the trio would have a novel take on stories that audiences would enthusiastically embrace.

BWW Reviews: SHREK THE MUSICAL national tour comes to TPAC
by Jeffrey Ellis - January 26, 2011
Now onstage at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center's Andrew Jackson Hall through Sunday, Shrek the Musical could be dismissed by some as merely a theme park version of an animated film (which, I must confess, I've never seen), but if you approach it with your eyes wide open - and perhaps more importantly, your heart wide open - you're likely to see it for what is: A fast-paced, hugely entertaining homage to fairies, their tales and all the fairy dust that makes musical theater so completely transformative and exhilarating.

BWW Reviews: THE ODD COUPLE at Nashville Dinner Theatre
by Jeffrey Ellis - January 24, 2011
If Neil Simon were writing The Odd Couple in the 21st century, I suspect he'd write Oscar and Felix as gay men just coming out of the closet and make a lot of references about online dating, Twitter and Facebook, and the weekly poker game that is featured prominently during the onstage action would be - well, probably, it would still be a poker game (and to ensure that his characters sound hip, he would, of course, make some odd Sex and the City references, which would render it ridiculously un-hip).

BWW Reviews: I'LL BE SEEING YOU at Chaffin's Barn
by Jeffrey Ellis - January 24, 2011
Thanks to the efforts of playwright Lydia Bushfield and a talented cast of actors and musicians, Chaffin's Barn Dinner Theatre takes audiences on a sentimental journey back to the American homefront during World War II with I'll Be Seeing You, a musical revue that features some of the best-loved tunes from that time. Wonderfully evocative, Bushfield's sweetly crafted - if somewhat overly earnest and perhaps a little mawkish - script tells the stories of three women keeping the homefires burning while their men are off to war, making the world a safer place.
